The Haitian Creole, born in the 17th century during the French colonization on the island of Hispaniola, is not only a communication tool; it is an essential part of the Haitian identity. Despite being recognized as an official language in 1987, French is still considered an elite language, creating a social divide. In the educational system, where French is the language of instruction, Creole is often neglected, which affects the ability of students to understand what they are learning, especially for children from rural areas. It has a unique grammatical structure that facilitates learning, and serves as a means of cultural expression in literature, music, and other arts. The advancement of technology will allow Creole to gain more visibility in social media, but the stigmatization of the language still exists. Therefore, it is important for Creole to be valued in education and other sectors, to allow the new generation to grow up with pride for their heritage. The Haitian Creole language, which is the first language for the majority of people in Haiti, is not only a means of communication, but it is also a reflection of the cultural wealth and history of the people. In a country full of diversity, Creole and its origin, its evolution and its place in society, is a testimony of resistance and adaptation.

Stéphanie Sophie Louis is the name of this young Haitian woman who is fully committed to the fight for the development of her country. A political scientist, activist, entrepreneur, and speaker, she was born on September 18, 2001, at the University Hospital of Haiti’s State University in the capital of Haiti. She is one of three daughters of her parents. Stéphanie grew up in central Haiti, specifically in the commune of Lascahobas. The key word in this young woman’s life is "commitment"; indeed, from her adolescence, she joined the scouts movement. This experience would serve as a springboard for her to be useful to her community. In 2017, she was even named Scout of the Year for the Central Department. Thanks to her involvement with the scouts, she had the chance to travel across the country early on, organizing summer camps for a children’s association, in various locations across the national territory: from Gonaïves to Les Cayes, passing through Marchand Dessalines, Arcahaie, and Saint-Marc. The young girl she was at that time, with her parents’ permission, was able to cross the entire land of her birthplace, which naturally led to a genuine love for her country, a way of confirming the idea that those who see this country up close always end up falling in love with it.
